HOTEL RE-INVESTMENT SURGES With increased revenues to the hotels, refurbishing them is in full swing. The Holiday Inn will begin a $4 Million plan beginning in August. The Stanley Hotel begins a $3 Million plan in October, including adding 20 suites to the Manor House. The Best Western Lake Estes, Silver Saddle, Comfort Inn, Inn at Estes all have completed major remodels. "OVER 600 NEWLY REMODELED ROOMS BY 1997" 9.
FORECAST FOR THE FUTURE The forecast for the Conference Center shows a continued path of filling existing hotel(~m~n the value season. The potential up-side of these hotel room r-arE resulting from the remodeling of the hotels and the expansion of the season from conference bookings, should continue to produce major contributions in sales tax for the town. 10.
CONFERENCE MARKETING FUND ESTABLISHED Under the direction of the Community Development Committee, the Conference Marketing Fund has been implemented to reduce the contribution of tax dollars in marketing and servicing conferences. With dollars coming from the hotels housing the conference attendees, functions such as conference transportation are now paid with the users' monies. ll.
August 3, 1995 MEMORANDUM TO: Community Development Committee FROM: Betty Kilsdonk, Museum Director SUBJECT: Monthly report 1. Exhibit Opening: The Eagle Plume Collection opened July 21 with about 130 people , in attendance. A related program, "The Eagle Plume Collection: A Closer Look" by Nico Strange j Owl, on July 20, had over 100 people in attendance. The exhibit is on display until October 23. We've had wonderful local press coverage and are making a push for the exhibit in the Front Range media. 2. Programs: On August 17, Hank Pedersen will present "Joy, The Life of Charles Eagle -~ Plume" in Municipal Building room 203 at 7:00 p.m. On August 27, the Museum will host the Johnny Dillon Day display of vintage automobiles. I'd like to commend the Museum Friends for their success in carrying out the Riverside Remembered Dance fundraiser on July 29, despite the illness of chairperson Lennie Bemiss. 3. Statistics: Attached. Year-to-date attendance through June is 2056 visitors and 436 Museum Friends members. d»). 4. Conservation School: Terri Schindel, a conservator at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wyoming, is offering a one-week course on the care of collections through Central Wyoming College in under. She taught a similar course in 1992 using the Estes Park Museum as a lab site. Ms. Schindel has asked to again use the Estes Park Museum as a Colorado location for her class. 4 This is an exciting opportunity for the Museum. We would gain increased knowledge about caring for particular objects in our collection, no cost professional conservation treatments of collections objects, and no cost training for a member of our staff. 11.

ROCKy MOUNTAIN DECK & FENCE >*coah/ng iii Viny! Proatn.·Ix 2442 Collyer Street, Longmont, Colorado 80501 (303) 772-7982 -May 27,1995 Ms. Linda Hinze, Executive Director Estes Park Fairgrounds P.O. Box 1967 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Ms. Hinze: Please accept this letter as my quote for your fence around the Estes Park Fairgrounds. As we discussed on Friday, I am quoting the Kroy fence as I feel that it is my "best buy" product. It is a single-extruded, heavy duty product and would stand up well to the rigors of people sitting on it, climbing over it and perhaps even bumping it while parking. Also, with the mechanical rail locking system that we use, the rails are not likely to come out of the posts under normal use. 752 ft. of fence with 6' long post and 2-1.5" x 5.5" rails: $3,091 (Price includes 96 posts and caps, 94-16' long rails, 400 rail locks, delivery to Estes Park but no taxes.) Installation would normally run approximately $2.75 - $3.00 per ft. However, because of insurance and taxes this would not be a part of my contract. I would be most happy to recommend several good installers that I have used in the past to do the job for you. If you chose to place concrete around your posts, which would be recommended, that would run another $.35 - $.40 per ft. of fence. Ms. Hinze, if you should have any other questions concerning the fence, please call me. I would be most happy to come to Estes Park to meet with you and show you the Kroy product along with several alternative vinyl fence products. I appreciate your call and the opportunity to quote you this maintenance-free fence product.

. SPECIAL EVENTS EVALUATION 1995 WOOL MARKET DATE: June 8-11, 1995 (second week of June each year) NO. OF YEARS: 5 NO. OF DAYS: 4 MANAGEMENT: Special Events Department & Wool Market Committee PURPOSE: 1) To be an educational and entertaining event for those interested in fiber and fiber animals; 2) A family event; 3) Attract an audience from outside the Estes Park area, staying several days during the shoulder season; 4) Selling opportunities for fiber artists and the showing and marketing of animals; 5) Provide for the general public a hands-on educational experience plus a market for the purchasing of yarns, fleeces, equipment and garments. ACTIVITIES: Workshops, animal shows, spinning contests, spinning and weaving demonstrations, fashion show, fleece contests, skein contest, children's hands-on tent. ADVERTISING: Local newspaper, six front-range newspapers, five trade magazines. SPECTATORS/PARTICIPANTS: 15% Local 50% Colorado 35% Out-of-State 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 NO.

There is a great need for fiber education and a place for breeders to promote their animals in our area. As long as the weather continues to be favorable the spectator numbers should continue to increase. There is a great deal of interest in fiber education. Workshops bring attendees in for four days providing good revenue, both for the Town and the event. The 11ama and alpaca numbers increased in 1995. We are now the largest Llama and Alpaca show in the world. Sheep were down - we did not have a sheep specialty show this year. Will plan one again for 1996. 2 q.
COMMENTS: As the Wool Market Committee works toward 1996 we again keep quality as our major objective. The educational value of our event continues to be brought to our attention by public comment. The Estes Park .Wool Market, in just five years, is one of the top three fiber festivals in the United States. The Alpaca Association (AOBA) will be moving it's convention to Denver in 1996 - the week following the Wool Market. Alpaca exhibitors may decline some, however we still believe the major breeders will participate because of the large audience attendance. The Alpaca Breeders of Colorado will be joining us to help put on the show and become active in the Wool Market as an organization. Volunteers continue to make this event happen!!! 15
